Hart and Ragot Win DH World Titles

French Invasion

8 / 10

The French national team spent the past two weeks practicing in Champery. Their effort paid off, netting four riders in the top 11 spots, including Damien Spagnolo, who finished second. Just as impressive was the performance of Fabien Barel, competing in his final race before retirement. Despite four broken ribs, the two-time world champ finished tenth—a remarkable run for one of the circuit’s most popular riders.
